Sandman
This Eagles special scheme honours David R. Kingsley, a bombardier on B-17 “Sandman”. During an incursion on Ploesti, Romania, the B-17 was hit; with the crew baling out, Kingsley spotted the tail gunner, wounded and whose parachute was missing. Kingsley gave the gunner his parachute but perished with the aircraft.
McDonnell Douglas/Boeing F-15 Eagle
The F-15 Eagle is an American single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft capable of Mach 2.5 plus (2,655 km/h, 1,650 mph). It first flew on July 27, 1972, and entered service on January 9, 1976, with the 555th TFS. The F-15-A/C are single-seat air-superiority versions. The F-15-B/D are two-seat trainers.
Developed in response to the Russian MiG-25 Foxbat, it is one of the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 aerial victories for no loss. The Eagle has been exported to several countries, including Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia and is expected to remain in USAF service until 2025.
The F-15 uses two Pratt & Whitney F100 axial-flow after-burning turbofan engines. Armament consists of one cannon mounted in the starboard wing root—nine hardpoints, carrying up to 7,300 kgs (16,000 lbs) of stores.
